ESPN releases video of Ron Burgundy interviewing Peyton Manning

In the leadup to his new movie, “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” Will Ferrell will be hosting SportsCenter on Dec. 5 in character as Ron Burgundy. On Tuesday, as some kind of promo for this, ESPN released a video of Burgundy interviewing Peyton Manning.

I won’t spoil the groundbreaking content, but I will say this: In the first few seconds, Burgundy tells Manning he looks “like a succulent baby lamb.”
